Which of the following is an example of dependent events? a. tossing a coin and spinning a spinner b. tossing a coin twice c. drawing one card after the other

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

which do you think?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hint: the second event would *depend* on the result or action for the first result

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm.. a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dun get it..

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

a. tossing a coin and spinning a spinner now tell me...does tossing a coin affect the result of spinning a spinner?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

if the coin toss result as heads would it affect where the spinner lands?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

am i making sense @mynameisjanelle ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i was out again.. ya

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so..my question...if the coin toss results as heads or tails will it cause the spinner to spin differently?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

does the coin toss affect the spinner?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get the second question but the first one, yes/

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how can tossing a coin make the result of the spinner become different. will you tell me how?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

or why you think it does?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh!! i got confused of your questions, and i read the whole question aagain. letter#a tossing a coin doesnt affect a spinner

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i'm not really sure about b and c.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right..

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so for letter b...if i toss a coin and the result is head...will that change the probability if the second toss is heads or tails?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think so..?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

correct

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

for the third one... if i draw one card it affects the second draw because the next draw will have one less card...make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAAA!!^^
